The short answer

The closest alternative to the Orient Bambino Solar Quartz is the Citizen Corso ($278) — common cross-shop and Classic dress. If price is the constraint, the Timex Waterbury Classic 3 Hand 40mm Leather Strap Watch at $102 (vs $265 for the Bambino Solar Quartz) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Von Doren Runde is the standout microbrand take — classic dress and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Citizen Eco-Drive One ($2,395) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
